Race discrimination case over child’s swim puts ‘Dutch paradox’ in focus
“She saw that every white child was simply allowed to walk through, and every black child, without exception, was asked for their passport,” Duiker said, reflecting on that Friday evening in 2024. “Maybe it is … but it’s pretty awful to show children of 10, 11 and 12 that they are not equal. You are showing them that whatever you do, however you live, you are never the same as a white child.”Duiker complained to the pool management on the day of the incident.
